Here's our Dufour 335 all wrapped up sitting patiently at the Port of New Westminster waiting for customs clearance.   This December, the first Dufour 335 arriving in North America is coming to Vancouver, BC. "We are very excited for the arrival of this new cruiser," remarked Len Baronit, President of Yacht Sales West. "I first saw this model earlier this year at the Dusseldforf Boat Show and was very taken with the big boat feel in a 33' package. We feel that this model will appeal to experienced sailors who appreciate the comfort of stable performance combined with a practial interior with thoughtful touches." said Len.  With distinctive Felci styling, this French import offers quick, comfortable sailing with an elegant and warm interior.
